JACK KLEINSINGER PRESENTS CABARET JAZZ MARCH 8TH
Jack Kleinsinger Presents "Cabaret Jazz" featuring Barbara Carroll
and Paula West on Thursday, March 8th at 8:00 pm at THE TRIBECA PERFORMING
ARTS CENTER (199 Chambers Street, NYC - 212-220-1460 -
http://www.tribecapac.org/
). Barbara Carroll is an elegant jazz pianist, composer and vocalist
who has long been regarded as one of the most fascinating purveyors
of swinging jazz piano and rhythmic, expressive vocals. Paula West
is a jazz singer whose choice of materials and intelligent way with
lyrics allow her to cross over to cabaret.
Whether Barbara Carroll is rendering a composition
by Harold Arlen, Cole Porter, Billly Strayhorn or Thelonious Monk,
her inventive piano playing and totally unique vocal sound insure
that she will transform that composition into her own art - presented
as no one else has presented it -- with her trademark emotional
directness and respect for the tune and all of it's many possibilities.
Paula West offers multiple pleasures - the musicianship
and sophistication of jazz combined with the emphasis on text, the
droll humor, and the story songs that appeal to the cabaret audience.
Also featured on this evening's program are the swinging
clarinetist Ken Peplowski, a Highlights regular, the witty and swinging
bassist Jay Leonhart and vversitile drummer Joe Ascione both of
whom have appeared many times at Highlights in Jazz concerts.
Tickets are $30 General Admission.
